Speaker Hall has singled out U of M and MSU for massive cuts, calling them "scams". These schools set up thousands of students for success every year, and they deserve our support - not politically motivated attacks. Our community knows a real scam when we see one. #mileg #goblue #gogreen #highered

Today's budget proposal from House Republicans is a massive attack on our public universities and the students who attend them. If these cuts are approved, tuition will go through the roof, Michigan's economy will suffer, and cutting-edge research will stop. #mileg #resist #nokings #goblue #highered

We voted no on the first round of the Republicans' proposed budget because it falls short of what a state budget needs to do: support Michiganders. Even our Public school leaders agree: House Republicans need to go back to the drawing board. #MiLeg

Our bills would ban PFAS in household and cosmetic products, assist farmers affected by PFAS, and more. Let's put people over profits and achieve a healthier Michigan for all! #mileg

I'm proud to join my fellow House Democrats in introducing legislation to tackle the PFAS pollution crisis. PFAS are the toxic "forever chemicals" that pollute water sources across Michigan and harm public health. #mileg #envirosky #resist #nokings

Today was Michigan and Taiwan Partnership Appreciation Day in the House! I and other members of the bipartisan Taiwan Caucus were honored to host representatives from the Taiwanese consulate in Chicago, Director General Dennis Lei and Vice Consul Jay Lin, on the House floor. #mileg #taiwan

Coalition proposes that no family pay more than 7% of their income for child care – Common Ground Universal Childcare without Conditions centers affordability for families and sustainability for providers.

The League is proud to be part of this coalition with our partners at Mothering Justice. Child care is an essential part of Michigan's economic and social infrastructure...it's time to make it work for everyone! #mileg

A field of dreams opening in Troy Former city councilwoman and current County Commissioner Ann Erickson Gault has been an advocate for the park since her time on the council.

Great article on the opening of the cricket field in Troy next month. I'm proud to have secured $1 million for this project in 2023, and I'm so happy it's almost here! Very soon, our cricket players will have a proper field to play this exciting sport. #mileg

FACT: In 2023, Michigan enhanced the state EITC and as a result in 2024, over 650,000 Michiganders collected an average combined state and federal credit of $3,856! #mileg

Michigan Senate votes to block mandatory overtime for nurses The bills would stop hospitals from making nurses work extra hours, with some exceptions, and give nurses at least an eight-hour break following a 12-hour shift.

Good news!!

Yesterday, the Michigan Senate passed our bipartisan bills to end mandatory nurse overtime. Thank you to @minurses.bsky.social for your years of advocacy and for the care you provide for patients every day! #mileg #gettingthingsdone

Every Michigander deserves to have their culture and traditions celebrated! #nokings #mipolitics #mileg #resist

I’m also proud to support legislation, introduced by my fellow House Democrats, honoring Lunar New Year, the Sikh holiday Vaisakhi, and the Muslim holidays Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr. As our state grows more diverse, it’s important for us to honor Michiganders of all backgrounds. #mileg #nokings

It's always a joy when Troy's own superstar disability activists, Allie and Dawn Hayes, pay a visit to the office. Allie is a member of the state's Developmental Disabilities Council and was in town for their Voices In Action advocacy day. Keep up the good work! #mileg

MI House Republicans don't care about your right to vote. #MiLeg

This bill - and the federal SAVE Act it mimics - create financial barriers that would prevent eligible citizens from voting. Your right to vote is sacred, and I won't let anyone take it from you. #mileg #mipolitics #nokings #resist

I just voted NO on the House Republican poll tax, which is what you call requiring a passport or birth certificate in order to vote. Michigan's elections are already free, fair and secure. #mileg #resist #nokings

🔥New Statement: League strongly opposes House passage of a bill that threatens Michiganders’ right to vote in state elections. House Bill 4765 would create unnecessary red tape in Michigan’s voter registration process and burden citizens with proving their eligibility to vote. #mileg

"Unbeknownst to most of the public, 2025 was a turbulent year for federal data, and access to some federal data sources remains at risk."— @annekuhnen.bsky.social and Patrick Schaefer, Michigan League for Public Policy

For healthy families and a prosperous state, just add water – MLPP A version of this column originally appeared in The Alpena News. Over the last few years, we’ve all felt the pinch on our wallets as the costs of living have risen and wages haven’t kept up. But some ...

"None of us can survive without clean water, and we’re all at risk in an economy under which the ability to pay for service is guaranteed to erode for all but the wealthiest few." ––

TLDR: Michigan lacks a comprehensive legal framework governing the use of ALPRs that could put innocent people in dangerous situations and betray data privacy. And mistakes do happen. #mileg
